Promo 'The Feathered Bone' by Julie Cantrell

Today I’m excited to share with you a Promo about ‘The
Feathered Bone’ by Julie Cantrell. This is the thrilling and suspenseful new
novel of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.

‘The Feathered Bone’ is out NOW!!

About the Book:

“Feathers—no matter what size or shape or color—are all
the same, if you think about them. They're soft. Delicate. But the secret thing
about feathers is . . . they are very strong.”

In the pre-Katrina glow of New Orleans, Amanda Salassi is
anxious about chaperoning her daughter’s sixth grade field trip to the Big Easy
during Halloween. And then her worst fears come true. Her daughter’s best
friend, Sarah, disappears amid the magic and revelry—gone, without a trace.

Unable to cope with her guilt, Amanda’s daughter sinks in
depression. And Amanda’s husband turns destructive as he watches his family
succumb to grief. Before long, Amanda’s whole world has collapsed.

Amanda knows she has to save herself before it’s too
late. As she continues to search for Sarah, she embarks on a personal journey,
seeking hope and purpose in the wake of so much tragedy and loss.

Set amidst the murky parishes of rural Louisiana and told
through the eyes of two women who confront the darkest corners of humanity with
quiet and unbreakable faith, The Feathered Bone is Julie Cantrell’s
master portrait of love in a fallen world.

How domestic abuse, particularly emotional abuse, can
blur our own beliefs about ourselves and spin us into a downward spiral of
toxicity

How women can become 'enslaved' in relationships --
especially conservative Christian women who have been taught that a good and
Godly woman should be submissive to her husband

The modern-day slavery of human trafficking and how one
could keep their faith and sanity in such tragic circumstances

Teenage suicide and surrendering the heart to people who
want to destroy us is never the answer.

About Me

My name is Maureen, I’m 28 years old and I live with my husband and cat in The Netherlands. And
I’m a fulltime Nurse on a Traumatology department at an Academic Hospital. As
long as I can remember my life has been filled with books and stories. I grew
up with my mom and was just the two of us for a long time. But we were never
really just ‘with the two of us’. Our house has been filled with books and
bookshelves and the books never stopped coming. I grew up reading everything I
could put my hands on from ‘Mathilda’ and ‘James and the Giant Peach’ by Roald
Dahl, till all the Harry Potter books and the Twilight series. So growing up
I’ve have been in all sorts of different worlds. I used books as an escape when
things got tough but I also used books to find my peace and somehow grew in the
woman I am today.
